More than half of people using online coding courses are trying to boost their degree value, a new report from Codecademy found. According to Codecademy, 2017 might have been the year of re-education. New research from the online coding resource said more than half of its users this year hold a college degree, using their free time to boost their skill set by learning to code. About 55% of Codecademy’s users reported having some kind of college degree, showing that tech professionals are finding ways to expand their resume and stay relevant in a constantly changing field. “We’re hearing increasingly from people learning to code to get a leg up in their current industry and from people who want to move into tech adjacent fields,” the report said. “Considering that this is one of the few sectors of the economy that’s growing, it makes sense.”
